Narrow your search results

When your search results are displayed, the area at the
side of the page shows NarrowSearch filters. The number next to each filter
indicates how many titles in your search results have that characteristic.
You can select a filter to focus your search results. For example, you
may be able to list only the DVDs from your search results. Follow these
steps to narrow your search results.

1. With your search
results displayed, look for the links under NarrowSearch at the side of the page.

The filter links are organized by category, such
as Type of Material, Subject,
and Author, and more. You may need
to scroll the page to see all the links.

list.

collapse the list of links for the category.

or <<Less to see more or fewer
links in a particular category.

2. Click a link
under a category to filter your search results by that link.

For example, you might click a Large
Print link to see only the large print titles in your search
results.

The search results page displays your filtered
search results. At the top of the Narrow your
search list, you see the filter you selected with a check
mark.

You can continue to click Narrow
Search links to further filter your results. Each filter is
displayed at the top of the Narrow your search
list, displayed with a check mark.

filter and display the results without the filter, uncheck the filter
at the top of the Narrow your search
list.

The new results are displayed.
